#Chapter52
Reika POV
Waking to the feel of movement, as Ryker stood up and started walking. Opening my eyes they felt like sandpaper. My skin stinging and dry from the salt in my tears.
I turned my face into his neck, inhaling his scent, I didn't want to cry any more. Tears won't help me, nothing will any more. I felt nothing, numb is what I felt and I was grateful. I could Live with numb.
/"You're awake?/" Ryker says and I nod my head that was on his shoulder. My arms and legs are tightening around his body.
/"Reika?/" I hear her soft voice in my head, the voice that used to be my calm, but now I felt nothing but anger toward her, nothing but betrayal. Ryker said she did it to protect me, but how is taking the only thing that mattered to me from me, taking my memories of her, making me forget what she meant to me, protecting me.
/"Reika, I'm sorry/" she says.
